Abstract

We describe the Segal KK-theory of the symmetric monoidal category of finite-dimensional vector spaces over a perfect field F\mathbb{F} together with an automorphism, or, equivalently, the group-completion of the EE_\infty-algebra of maps from S1S^1 to the disjoint union of classifying spaces BGLd(F)\mathrm{BGL}_d(\mathbb F), in terms of the KK-theory of finite field extensions of F\mathbb{F}. A key ingredient for this is a computation of the Segal KK-theory of the category of finite-dimensional vector spaces with a nilpotent endomorphism, which we do over any field F\mathbb F. We also discuss the topological cases of F=C,R\mathbb F =\mathbb C,\mathbb R.
